Two men stabbed at party in Swinton

16 year old and 20 year old stabbed

Two people were stabbed at a party in Swinton.

It happened at a flat above the Mobilezone shop on Chorley Road, Swinton, at about 00.10am on 7 January 2012.

Police were called following reports of a disturbance following a party, and discovered a 16-year-old boy and a 20-year-old man had suffered stab wounds.

The 16-year-old boy sustained wounds to his chest and cuts to his neck, back and chin and the 20-year-old man was treated in hospital for three stab wounds to his chest.

Police are now appealing to anyone with information to come forward.

Detective Constable Neil Higginson, of Salford CID, said: "At this stage, it is unclear exactly what happened but what we do know is that this party ended in violence and two people suffered stab wounds.

"The injuries are not believed to be life-threatening but anytime a knife is used to attack someone it has the potential to seriously injure or even kill so we need to establish exactly what happened that night and bring the offenders to justice.

"I want to appeal to anyone who might have been at that party and witnessed what happened to call us.

"Similarly, if you have overheard something or you do have information, we really need to speak to you so please call us. Anyone who is prepared to use a weapon such as a knife needs to be stopped so if you do know something, coming forward could save someone's life."

Anyone with information should call police in Salford on 0161 856 5351 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
